Info
“Deep Sea Illuminators, 1952-2012” tells the story of the past 60 years, a quite long period that covers early pioneers of the mysterious underwater world such as Rasim Divanlı, Mustafa Kapkın, Yalçın Haraçoğlu, Zareh Magar, Baskın Sokulluoğlu, and Tosun Sezen, up to award-winning, prominent contemporary photographers of Turkey. The project brings together the artists’ own favorite photographs, and presents the underwater life in the seas of Turkey and elsewhere from the 1950s onwards. Besides the work of close to 90 photographers, the exhibition also includes important documentaries by Engin Aygün, Bengiz Özdereli, and Saki Uğurlu.

Curated by Saygun Dara, the exhibition will open at Rezan Has Museum on November 8, promising a pleasant journey to the underwater world.
